Harrogate district pub of the year receives award
Harrogate Tap has received an award for being named Harrogate district pub of the year by the Campaign for Real Ale.
The pub, which is situated in the restored railway building at Harrogate station, was voted first ahead of more than 150 eligible pubs in the area.
Alan Gould, chairman of the Harrogate and Ripon branch of Camra, said the "beautifully restored" pub had been recognised for its "outstanding quality of beer" and ambience.
Mr Gould said the pub, which won the same award in 2015, consistently served excellent beer. Its open fire also makes it a popular winter destination.
It was chosen ahead of other pubs that sell real ale in and around Harrogate, Ripon, Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge, Boroughbridge and Masham.
The Harrogate Tap is owned by Pivovar, which also runs Tapped Leeds, Sheffield Tap, Newcastle Tap and York Tap.
It has 12 lines of real cask ale, including the Tapped Brew Co ales it brews in Sheffield.
The pub serves 12 types of real ale.
Manager Tidgh Collins and previous manager Adam Whiteley received a commemorative certificate from Mr Gould.
It joined 17 other top pubs in the quest to find Yorkshire’s best pub and a place in CAMRA’s national pub of the year competition. However, that accolade went to the Beer Engine in Skipton.
